I wonder if any lawyers are starting to take an interest in this incident.

fired 200 rounds through the door/hallway and the guard was lucky to only be hit in the leg.

Half of all gun deaths in America are suicide, motive was suicide with dramatic murder(S) because a gambler had some kind of dislike of Vegas.

2 broken out windows gave police his "location" as soon as his guns blew out the windows.

on retainer to keep him supplied). Valium use can lead to aggression and irritability.

The aggression built up and he finally acted out his fantasy.

We just have to wait until the next gun fetisher with too many guns acts out his fantasy to use them.

the lack of Valium could lead to "aggression and irritability". Every time I've taken Valium I couldn't care less about being aggressive or irritable. Valium always made me feel immaculate. If there was ever one drug I could get hooked on, it would be Valium. But I know better.

and right away I knew that was something to stay away from recreationally since it immediately "solved" too many of my issues. (Of course, pot was the only non-alcohol substance I ever did recreationally, and that was only for the brief-- but fun!-- time before it started triggering the panic attacks to which I was already susceptible.) Maybe over time Valium has different effects and/or affects different people different ways?

Those close to him say he's talked about them since he was a teenager.

at the moment does that, or the build up over taking it long term does.

Whatever it is, we know the gunman had a long history of its use and we also know what he did.

The OP is about the new timeline. He shot at the guard six minutes before he started shooting out of his window.

but you'd think if that were the case, that law enforcement would have been called and more than one guard sent.

so maybe something else brought the guard to the room, the casino should be able to say what that was.

The guard is also still alive

Do you not recall he injured hundreds?

Paddock had set up cameras covering the hall, so he didn't wait for the guard to do anything in particular at his own door - he just saw a guard on camera in the hall, and shot.

While the police were narrowing down the search ,going from floor to floor,the hotel security already knew the exact room where the guard was shot.
When the police tell the story,the hotel doesn't tell them the guard was shot before the crowd shooting begins.
Sounds like hotel was not honest and tried to cover up the real time line.

If the hotel knew a man with what appeared to be an automatic weapon was in their hotel and didnt call the cops before he started shooting, they're in deeeeep shit.

With this new timeline it establishes was not rushed into committing suicide by security intervention. It was only the thoughts of a deranged mind that determined when he stopped shooting. He had plenty of time, plenty of guns, and plenty of targets remaining for even more carnage. If Paddock actually was an ISIS gunman nothing would have stopped him until others shot him dead - and the death toll would have been much higher. This is how vulnerable we now all are due to the NRA and the politicians beholden to them..

Then he shot himself when he figured he was running out of time? We may never know why he did what he did.
But i am NOT going to believe any conspiracies that we are already seeing.

Just popped into my head--what if the Russians are behind it? Think about it......we now know they flooded the internet with highly divisive ads/propaganda/video meant simply to sow chaos. The massacre has topped headlines for weeks, and brought the gun owners/outlaw guns fight to a head across the country and in Congress. Who knows what they could have filled this guy's mind with?

As the saying goes--If you're not paranoid, you're not paying attention.
